Jack Tawil, MSW, LCSW-C

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Are you ready to take things to a deeper level to heal from emotional pain and to experience lasting change? Sharing our struggles with another person while receiving support and encouragement can be a solid beginning to the healing process. Once greater trust and rapport is established, we can begin to face things at a deep emotional level to see where you have the most trouble and where the core pain lies. Once we can see, we have the choice to face. This takes courage and committment from both of us, but it can be done.

Marian Kaufman, PhD, LCSW-C

Licensed Certified Social Worker - Clinical

I use a psychodynamic approach (which focuses on one's inner life) as well a Cognitive Behavioral approach (which focuses on how thoughts, attitudes and beliefs affect feelings and behavior). I emphasize a client's strengths, because it takes courage to address one's problems. I feel that having a "good fit" with a therapist is essential for a successful outcome. My clients can be assured of objectivity and total confidentiality during sessions.

Angela Sarafin, LMFT

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

I use a primarily cognitive-behavioral approach to psychotherapy because there is a circular relationship between thoughts and actions. At some level everything we do is purposeful but may not be effective. For example, pouting when we were four years old may have unfailingly achieved the goal of getting what we wanted from our parents, but may work against us or may leave us with a sense of disappointment toward the people who give in to our demands. Are you dissatisfied with your relationships or do you feel like you keep attracting abusive, manipulative, or negative people? Psychotherapy can help expose the beliefs that fuel those patterns so you can choose differently.

Ron Kimball, PhD, CGP

PhD Licensed Psychologist

Psychotherapy is a label for learning to understand yourself and how you operate. It is not a series of simple techniques, it is a stance one takes towards oneself and one's place in life. Learning this often helps with "problems" but it also gives a person an edge in effective operation and in deciding what is important and worthy and what is not. Learning to be mindful of the ways we react to life's internal and external events is usually a very positive step towards self-acceptance and comfort.
This is always part of my approach.

Marsha Lucas, PhD

Here's what it comes down to: We all bump/hit/slam into obstacles that hold us back from creating meaningful, vibrant lives. And we all need effective help sometimes. What makes therapy the most effective? (1) The quality of the connection and trust you have with your therapist, and (2) your therapist's level of experience. Helping people get traction to get beyond those obstacles is what I've been doing for more than 20 years, and it's what I love to do. I bring together different approaches to suit your needs, and I’m compassionate, straightforward, and authentic. Let's find out if we'll work well together.

Jacqueline Ward-Baker, MA, NCC, LCPC

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

Therapy is a process that many people are reluctant to try, but then see the value and improvement in their lives. Being able to talk to someone that can help you discover new ideas and more about yourself and your life goals can be of huge benefit when you can receive feedback to help you make choices. I can help you begin this journey toward a more fulfilling life.

Rob Williams, LICSW, CGP, MBA

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

Psychotherapy is a shared space between a therapist and client, to spend time on a regular basis exploring challenges, dissatisfaction or dilemmas in the client’s life.
Psychotherapy is a commitment and takes time. Psychotherapy involves a real relationship between two people. It does not involve physical contact. It does involve both verbal and non-verbal communication and often silence and contemplation.
We spend a great deal of our time, trying to be what we think others expect us to be, or trying to be liked, or accepted. We keep much of ourselves hidden from most people, and often hidden from ourselves as well. Without knowing why, we can become unhappy, and sometimes depressed.

Kevin Fleming Ph.D.

Coach/Change Agent/Consultant

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Christiana Shao, M.S., M.A., LGPC, NCC

Resident in Counseling

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change and overcome problems in desired ways. It aims to increase individual well-being, mental health, and improve relationships and social functioning.
I primarily provide an evidence based psychotherapy called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in working with each client. CBT is a talk therapy approach that helps you become aware of inaccurate, distorted or negative thinking patterns so that you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. Most importantly, I tailor treatment to meet individual needs and meet you where you are so as to help you get to where you want to be.

Christina Schultz, MA

Resident in Counseling, Supervised by Thomas Lamp, LPC

I treat a variety of behaviorally, cognitively, and spiritually based presenting problem. From a person-centered and existential perspective, I seek to understand and offer acceptance of the fullness and complexities of your behaviors, feelings, thoughts, and spirit, your family background and patterns you may have internalized or transferred into the present, your goals, and your presenting problems and strengths. I will offer you empathy, acceptance, and insight to achieve your goals using an eclectic technical approach and evidence-based interventions, while also making use of assessments and feedback to determine your current symptoms and progress.

Alicia Munoz, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Psychotherapy can be seen as a journey of self-discovery where you are accompanied and guided into deeper self-awareness by someone you can trust to accept you and support your healing and growth. The benefits to you of embarking on this journey with a professional whose primary focus is to be present for you, to help you cultivate curiosity and compassion toward yourself, are immeasurable. It can be the difference between a life half-lived—or lived primarily in reaction to confusing internal and external forces—and a life reflected on, understood, and accepted: a life you want. This shapes everything: your perspective on yourself, others, and the world around you.

Jennifer Beall, MS, NCC, LCPC, LCADC

Alison Huang, NCC, LCPC

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

What is psychotherapy? Some people say “psychotherapy is the treatment to work on your personal situation”, and others say “psychotherapy is the place for you to talk about your problem and your therapist will work with you to figure out the better way to manage it” Well…both of them are correct. When you seek therapy, that does not mean you are weak. In fact, attending therapy is a brave behavior as you allow yourself to be vulnerable in front of another person (your therapist), and you are willing to touch on some undesirable characteristics about yourself and work on that. By doing so, you are getting closer to your true self and make your life more beautiful than ever.

Mary Lou Lyon, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

My approach to psychotherapy focuses on your internal world and relational patterns. Often our moods, anxieties and relational difficulties in the present need to be examined in light of our past experiences. I provide a caring and non-judgmental place where you can explore your feelings and behaviors and discover patterns that need to be changed. My goal is to help you in your healing, growth and change.

Mary L Lyon, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

My approach to individual psychotherapy comes out of my training and experience as a psychodynamic therapist. Psychotherapy focuses on inner conflicts and unconscious reactions as well as defenses that have built up in interpersonal relationships. My approach to psychotherapy is very relational. Most of our difficulties come about in the context of relationship, both early relationships and current relationships, and healing comes about in learning new ways of relating during the therapy hour.

John Raymond, MA, MS, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

I approach psychotherapy from a systems prospective. We all grow up in a family that teaches us beliefs, values, and behaviors that persist throughout life. Understanding our past and how it may be impacting current relationships is sometimes an undesirable exercise; however, taking the strengths from our past and building on them is one goal of therapy. I find that engaging the past actually frees us to live a more congruent life that is filled with richer relationships.

Carlos Durana, Ph.D.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Licensed Professional Counselor

My first task in psychotherapy is to provide a safe and secure environment. I provide my clients with care, calmness, respect and stability to help address life challenges in new ways. Being non-judgmental, open-minded, empathetic and listening with respect helps set the stage for the deeper work that needs to be done. I help my clients evaluate whether their present life choices are providing what he or she wants. I also help my clients become aware of and transform the mental, emotional, interpersonal and/or behavioral strategies that cause his/her suffering. My approach to psychotherapy is to help clients become what he/she wants to become, to be better equipped to deal with life’s challenges, and to be in a greater state of health and harmony.

Gina Binder, M.A.

Resident in Counseling

I think of psychotherapy as a healing process in which you, as an individual or a couple, discover more effective ways to deal with the unique issues and challenges you face. When you and your therapist form a trusted collaborative relationship, research shows that psychotherapy works. In such a relationship, I can provide support as you navigate the losses and transitions of life. Together we can explore multiple options to challenge individual problems like anxiety and depression, as well as tackle relationship problems with issues like communication and trust. Contact me with questions or to schedule a FREE 15-minute phone consultation.

Mark Napack, MS, LCPC

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC)

Psychotherapy can be life changing. I am an experienced psychotherapist in dealing with a wide-range of issues. I have had the priviledge of working with people to change from being mired in some kind of debilitating experience or way of being to a life-giving and life-enhancing way of being in the world and with others. These issues may be in the "mental health" spectrum or outside of them, having to do with broader experiences of meaning, relationship, and happiness. I look forward in hearing from you.

Elizabeth Nyang, Ed.D., LCPC

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

Many clients feel comfortable discussing their issues and working together with me to rethinking how they would like to change make changes in their lives. While we cannot stop thoughts, we can develop a plan to change negative thoughts into positive thoughts. I use talk therapy and mindfulness to help clients identify negative habits and develop new healthy and effective habits.

Deborah Cole, Psy.D.

Licensed Psychologist

We first determine what you want to work on. This is not as simple as it sounds, as there are often defenses that have been built up. If so, then we look at those defenses, such as blaming others or considering oneself too worthless to get better. When we can get through the defenses, we can usually make some connections with patterns of behavior, such as self-sabotaging. We work to help you able to make better connections with others and with parts of yourself.
I also do intensive work in therapy for people who have suffered from traumas. These traumas have left you stuck. By using an evidence-based therapy called EMDR, we are able to help you get unstuck. You can then stop avoiding life!

Beth Levine, LCSW-C

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

We usually go to see a therapist when we're wanting something to be different in our lives. Learning and growing throughout our lives is a good and courageous thing. I work with people to help them get the change they are looking for. I seek to create a safe place and work collaboratively so people can reach their goals and begin feel happy with who they are, their lives, and relationships. I participate in many learning opportunities and I bring new ideas and inspiration to my work with clients.

Jennifer Erickson, MS, NCC

Resident in Counseling

I use a solution-focused approach to counseling where we start with 3 goals. These goals are things that might help improve your distress in the best way or shortest amount of time. From there, we dig deeper and figure more things out. I start with a goal first, because sometimes we just need something to change first. But in the end, it is best if we really talk, so we can potentially prevent the same distress from occurring in the future.
